Pointless Spin-Off is taking a mid-season break but we just thought we'd drop an episode for our adoring fan(s) as a token of our appreciation and to let you know we haven't forgotten about you.
Enjoy our improvised spin-off to The Whistleblower (2010) / bittersweet ode to Doug Walker the Nostalgia Critic and we'll catch you in the second half of the season!
-
In our very 51st episode, join us as we journey to Rory's ancestral homeland and embark on a good old fashioned hard-boiled detective caper with all the hallmarks of a classic neo-noir thriller: saxophone music, someone's bare asshole, a GameFAQs guide, etc. Inspired by the 2012 film 'Grabbers'.

You are not well. We recommend staying at home and listening to our latest Pointless Spin-Off of 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'. It's the best thing for you.
(the gag is that this episode synopsis resembles an interaction between a caretaker and a 'patient' as if it were an instance of Munchausen by-proxy syndrome)

-
In our very thirty-fifth episode, Sonny and Rory leap, flip and tumble across the rooftops of a pre-Apocalypse Jerusalem as they join a ragtag gang of parkour enthusiasts in their unofficial prequel to 'World War Z' titled 'World of P'. The 'P' can stand for either parkour, prequel or podcast, let's be honest.
